Conceptual design for robotic arm wrestling

Senior welfare problems become more and more serious in modern civilized societies. It is important to assist the senior to keep their physical and mental health in order to lessen social welfare cost and to improve the quality of life of them. This paper presents the conceptual design of a robotic arm wrestling system that is an intelligent exercise machine to help the senior physically and mentally. This robotic machine is intended to perform arm wrestling games with seniors on a table. The robotic machine will determine randomly the winner (robot or human) and the scenario. The proposed scenario generates game process that the arm-wrestler cannot predict in advance and arm wrestler´s will influences it.
